Comment by Bob "Ambrose" Negus on August 21, 2020 at 3:27am: Gorgeous Uncle Crow Style AGP! Love the walnut stain and finish. Glad you had a last minute thought on those Crow sound holes. Top build mate!

Comment by AGP # on August 13, 2020 at 9:08am: Thanks Jock & Andries, the S.O.B. was definitely a tongue in cheek addition, and Andries the MGB Mini Bucker and position seemed the best method to add a Mag Pup. :-)
